This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --5UkNWpaVQucJCVLd1tdMHXh6CtNURpqFx Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi! A few days ago, xserver 1.14 was committed with a new input device detection backend based on devd(8) instead of hald(8). It appears many people disabled hald(8) in their /etc/rc.conf and now see regressions. So let's clarify this. The X.Org server was a consumer of the service provided by hald(8) among many others. Now, by default, xserver uses devd(8) to perform the same ta= sk. However, hald(8) is still required by many Desktop environment! Beside input devices, hald(8) helps some applications list other kind of resources, such as storage device or mountpoints, and get notifications. Therefore, keep hald_enable=3D"yes" in your /etc/rc.conf unless you are sure no application use it. --=20 Jean-S=C3=A9bastien P=C3=A9dron --5UkNWpaVQucJCVLd1tdMHXh6CtNURpqFx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUmFUYXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAw MDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMReMQAJ1TK2K0dCOX9+IP7uVE9vjH RWFlzlKuPfyoCU4DC1A6wPAdz8nFcgNm3qMG6yO79xRI3NrRsuxe5LdQPD3sk3Mg RXf5N3tLM+u4N6EDipbW/fOwrH9N8ZzizRMKaM797Izetwk3H+5mXDugnbJNHeE2 GAZU3XuWNyPr3mwlf0g6fiNLcXx0Z90emTeeZ6a0nICKCaW1yjWxAcIUdI+A5yuP DJ2+cit4zeSx0nTJLEl8+q0UPWaMPuL36Z8dCjQWk6CFp+NikKFGkOw2+QVQOXEx k4vpz9GTh0xAVwS9A05Y7GUvQzzMQFyBi3QZOJFxtfJNsVxltZD3iuuMoh3L425W JcxUAdcE2QLF/bf59c+s0ngkBe1NJaL8QiQhU3UgisSn10mvUS1IMv8ji+krZkcV 51pYP4NheT35sB83JO3vM8LNYIds/1Geq/UYc40LdahJ7yndHX19Jkae4StqsSvL 4B3iO+6n9r6YVhMcMI4SNlfZa1d4feDZkvtSYUhsdkZ+hCXPF6DLP4iC3bCxxOHW HTGZP+WupeSLE4Sx488g6VM87wWyibM4540+mlA3x5hMFXfUzwAoLbdWQXT5qD4X zZY6NjAJe3pVYVjlyUV1V7EtWzHRGBOid8kJObqamqd3RnVDIQbFQrd/kkdvPtX7 L0mt95q8PJ+0KVhQq4Wp =tdzh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5UkNWpaVQucJCVLd1tdMHXh6CtNURpqFx--
